Chinese directors are generally divided according to the age.

There is a premise: from a professional background, that is, from a regular film school, and other wild ways of debuting are not included in the fifth or sixth generation.

For example, Feng Xiaogang, if he is just based on his age, he should be considered the fifth generation director. Unfortunately, he is a wild person and is not an academic school at all.

So, Feng Xiaogang was quite aggrieved when he first debuted.

Although the work sold well, the box office was not bad, but unfortunately it was not recognized by the industry.

Nonsense, if the industry admits you, wouldn’t it mean that we well-educated academics are not as good as those of you who are a good student of art?

The same is true for Xu Hui. He is not from a college, and the industry does not have a high evaluation of his own and works. Especially after Xu Hui publicly stated that art films hinder the healthy development of domestic films, a considerable force against him has formed in the industry.

Of course, Xu Hui is now in a prime time. Although his character is up to date, his works are sold well and have good reputations, and there is no bad news. Many people are eager to be unlucky!

Xie Mengyao obviously knew something. At this time, he asked such a question and had some idea of ​​making trouble.

"I don't like watching domestic movies, especially the duller types..."

Xu Hui obviously knew that this was a trap, he was not stupid, it was obviously a pit, so he jumped in?

"What kind of movies do you like to watch?"

"Some old Hong Kong movies, Hollywood movies!"

Xu Hui scratched his head: "It's a movie that the public likes. My aesthetic is very popular!"

Is this a criticism of the sixth generation of directors who are all aesthetically problematic groups?

"You mentioned aesthetics?"

"Yes, I think for a director, aesthetics are really too important. A director who distorts his views will definitely not be suitable for public viewing!"

"You don't like movies with too strong authorship?"

Xie Mengyao always focused on this point. He wanted to know what kind of director Xu Hui was, or whether he was more commercial or had his own ideas.

At present, he is a market-oriented business director.

Xu Hui glanced at Xie Mengyao, thought for a while, and spoke: "Since the birth of the movie, movies have been art. Isn't art the thing the author uses to express himself!"

"But making a movie requires money, a lot of money. If you only consider the director's personal intentions and ignore the public's taste, then this movie will not be watched. This is also the reason why independent movies are difficult to sell."

The sixth generation director made so many movies, and he expressed only two themes, the entanglement of human nature and the darkness of society. This is so typical that he is far away from life and has nothing to do with ordinary audiences. If anyone likes such a movie, then he really loves movies and loves them to the core!

"So, do you pursue commerciality and deliberately erase the intention of the movie itself?"

"No, in fact, in my opinion, there are only two types of movies in this world, good movies and bad movies, and there is no perfect combination of artistic and commerciality. If the movie is well made, it is naturally appreciated by someone!"

Xu Hui waved his hand secretly, signaling that the topic would stop here.

Xie Mengyao was a little regretful and sighed secretly. Xu Hui had made all kinds of twists and no positive answers just now.

But he can say so much and already respects "People".

Next is a trivial chat.

“Are there any plans to shoot a movie this year?”

"Of course, I will start filming a movie at the end of July, telling the story of the Republic of China period and the Chinese past series."

"Is that so? Is it a big movie series?"

"Well, but it depends on the market reaction. If the market performance is not bad, I will continue to shoot..."

"Do you have any hobbies in your daily life? When you don't film?"

“…I don’t have any hobbies, I just run or walk around.”

Shooting everywhere...

...

It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when the interview ended. He refused Xu's enthusiastic behavior of keeping guests. Xie Mengyao returned to his hotel in the city.

Xie Mengyao was quite satisfied with this interview. Although Xu Hui deliberately avoided some issues, overall, Xu Hui could say everything!

After taking a shower, he leaned on the sofa and lit a cigarette. The content of the conversation just now appeared in his mind bit by bit.

For example, Xu Hui revealed his views on the market in an interview. This passage is very precious. Many big directors always use a very nervous attitude when talking about the domestic market, because Hollywood movies are about to attack the Chinese market in the overall situation. In the eyes of those big directors, this is unforgivable.

Xu Hui has never had such concerns. He has always been full of confidence in domestic movies.

In the interview, he also explained his unique concept of box office analysis, which was unprecedented in Xie Mengyao.

Of course, he also knew that many film and television companies are now exploring the theme of youth films.

Xu Hui also revealed his hidden worries about the market's profit-seeking nature and his planning for his future directorial path...

Too many, and most of them are dry goods!

He needs to sort it out.

As the cigarette burned out, his thoughts became clearer.

He took out his notebook and wrote down the title he thought of: "Xu Hui, a new type of Chinese filmmaker"

...

As of May 28, the box office of the movie "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" which was released for 29 days officially exceeded 500 million!

Chinese films usher in the era of 500 million!

Xu Hui's studio strongly asked him to return to the company to hold a celebration meeting for a box office of over 500 million yuan.

After thinking about it, he still agreed.

He is about to join the group "33 Days of Love Break", and he has to control many things himself.

Back at the company, Xu Hui truly felt the change in his box office of "Those Years" exceeded 500 million.

When ordinary staff see him, they have a magical and respectful look.

mmmp, I can understand Zunjin, what does magic mean? I am not Ma Yun, I look like et!

Ordinary staff don’t have much contact with Xu Hui, and they don’t know much about it. It’s okay to have such a look. Even Huang Wen, Chen Farong and Xu Liang, the three partners, could clearly feel that when they were talking to them, they were much more respectful.

Yes, I use the word respect.

"Brother Wen, we don't need to do this. You are the executive director of the company..."

"Xu Hui, do you know how much profit your "Those Years" has created?"

"500 million box office, one-third of it is 160 million..."

"This is just the simplest domestic box office revenue. Do you know how much the movie's box office will reach after HK is released?"

"How many?"

"It's only been two weeks after it was released, and it has won a box office of HK$30 million!"
Chapter completed!
